A very-very delightful collection of short fiction from the new authors in the beloved fantasy/sword&sorcery genre. This book, effectively, is a 'tasting menu' of different worlds and writing styles. A great way to discover new authors to follow!
Great kudos to the editors/organisers of this release. This is an excellent job!
Other reviewers already noted the overall strength of this collection. It is unusually well rounded (for the anthology) and good quality throughout. Well worth your time and ...more

The short story is a wonderful art-form entirely different from the novel. And yet, sometimes it's treated as an hors d’oeuvre, tasty but not as satisfying as a full meal. I guess that's one of the reasons anthologies aren't, in general, very popular.
Personally, I love the idea of anthologies. I've bought quite a few of them over the years, but I’m always left feeling a little disapointed with them. I tend to approach anthologies with high hopes and big appetite, expecting my mind to be blown a ...more

I've read six of the other stories so far, and can already assure readers they're in for a treat! Can't wait to read the rest, and feel super lucky to have my own story in here alongside such amazingly talented friends and fellow authors.

Full review is here, on my blog!
I’d say it’s not often that I find an anthology in which I like every story presented, or at least not dislike any of them, but I find that this is happening more and more as of late. I don’t know if it’s the books that’ve changed or if I’m just making better reading decisions. I mean in the last two cases, it were books that were given to me (that I would have read either way), so maybe it’s a bit of both?
I’ll take it!
So, I once again really liked 99.9% of this a ...more

When I plunged into reading Lost Lore, I only knew two of the authors' work beforehand: Benedict Patrick, who clawed his way into my favorite authors list last year and Steven Kelliher. Others I heard about but haven't gotten around to read their work: Dyrk Ashton, T. L. Greylock, Timandra Whitecastle, Michael R. Miller, Ben Galley, Phil Tucker. I looked forward to read their stories, and discover some new authors to keep my eyes on. Thankfully, this book give me plenty of them: Laura M. Hughes,

A charming and enjoyable collection of short stories from a top group of indie fantasy authors. A good way to tip your toe into indie fantasy before being fully committed. Recommended.
Reading this as part of a readalong :)
Invited by the one and only Benedict Patrick, Thank you by the way!!

This was great collection that enabled me to check out some of the authors I have been wanting to try and just haven’t gotten around to. While all of these stories were good, like with all anthologies there were some I liked better or thought were more suited to short story form than others which makes it a bit hard to rate, so I am going to go somewhere in the middle- think of it as a 3.5 (this is when that half star would be helpful) since I liked everything but didn't love everything.

Strong offerings make this anthology worth your time.
Lost Lore accomplishes its task of introducing readers to several amazing indie voices in dark epic fantasy. I’m excited to add so many new authors to my to-read pile!

Wow , hidden pasts, Secrets, what else can happen. An amazing fantasy read by a superb author who just keeps on writing all these fantastic stories. A dead mage, and what else could possibly show up. Read the book, and you’ll never want to stop.
I was invited by Steven Kelliher to participate in a group read of Lost Lore: A Fantasy Anthology by, Terrible Ten. Having read Steven's work, I agreed. I'm glad I did. This is a great anthology with each story having its own style of fantasy. I rated each book separately.
